Raccoons are found in most of North America and have recently emerged in some parts of Europe and Japan.

They live in highly wooded areas that have access to water, lots of trees and lots of vegetation. The hollow trees are their dens. They are very adaptable living in suburban and urban areas, making homes in manmade structures like attics, sewers, barns and sheds.

They are active in the night especially during summer, spring and fall.

Raccoons leave waste and fasces behind whenever they inhibit a place. Poop can be found in a heap in one place and sometimes it’s spread all over. They will urinate in one place and sometimes all over. Raccoon droppings are easy to pick because they are large. Sometimes they leave poop in areas that are not accessible.
